WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
If your gastric band hasn’t helped you maintain your weight loss like you had hoped, conversion from a gastric band to a gastric sleeve could be an effective alternative.
A gastric band to gastric sleeve conversion helps to reduce appetite, meaning you will feel fuller sooner and eat less as a result. It is a non-reversible procedure that reduces the size and capacity of the stomach by about 75%, also removing the part of the stomach that stimulates the appetite hormone, ghrelin.

ARE THERE ANY RISKS?
All surgical procedures pose a potential risk, and it is important know what these are before you go ahead so that you can weigh them up against the benefits your procedure could bring. During your consultations you will talk through these potential complications and you can ask any questions that you have about them.
As a guide, these may include bleeding, infection, nausea, vomiting and constipation.
